Hi rlandriani,
There should be a setting under user paramaters in the menu section that will allow you to change the default "memory on" setting to "off".
The user parameters set on the menu currently can also be printed for you to go through at your leisure so that you can customise the machine to your own personal prefferences.

well, one of two things have happened, 1. you haven't removed all of the jammed paper, maybe you left a small piece of a piece of paper or you may bent or broken your paper jam sensor. go through the paper path very carefully and check both things.

Sounds like it got set to "immediate" transmission somehow, rather than "memory" transmission -might be as simple as a button on the operation panel, but I'm not a "canon" guy.You can get the manual here if you don't have one:

Copying Documents
If you make copies of multiple documents at a time, the number of pages the fax can scan into memory varies depending on the scanning resolutions as follows:
* STANDARD and FINE result in the same resolution when making copies* If MEMORY FULL appears on the LCD when making copies, reduce the number of documents to be copied or reduce the amount of total copies.

Lift up the document tray.

Insert the top of the document, face up, into the ADF (1) until a beep is heard.

Adjust the document guide to the width of the document.

Press <Resolution> to select the resolution.You can select [STANDARD], [FINE] or [PHOTO].

Press <Start/Copy>.

Enter the number of copies (up to 99) using the numeric buttons.To make a correction to the number of copies, press <Clear> and re-enter the number.

Press <Start/Copy>.To stop copying anytime, press <Stop>. If the document does not eject, press <Start/Copy> for a few seconds, then the fax will feed out the document.
